Lima Information with Cheap Flights Booker

Lima, City of Kings, was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 on 6 January, the Feast of the Kings (Epiphany).It was made the capital of Peru after the Peruvian war of Independence. It is a vibrant city, where nearly 10million people live. It is a continuous urban area. The architecture is quite eclectic, and is characterized by its mixed style. You can find really impressive and colourful colonial houses with those typical colonial balconies as well as Art Nouveau styles, glass skyscrapers and very poor areas. Generally the city is not free from the danger of earthquakes, which prevents the construction of very high buildings. It is a really humid and polluted city and most of the time, it is surrounded by a thick fog, called "garua", typical from Lima. Yet, recent laws have been enforced and the quality of the air has drastically improved. Lima´s seaside consists in flowery cliffs overlooking pebble beaches, where people always go paragliding. Traffic is crazy, with buses competing with each other and the millions of taxis for passengers. The main public transportation is the "combi", a kind of van. But there is a project to create a decent public transportation system.
